I should like to have been a fly on the wall when Nicholas Blair heard of Angelique's doings in 1795. His commentary would surely have been scathing.
And Angelique sure got her come-uppance from Nicholas today on her deliberate antagonizing of her in-laws. Very pleasant to hear, but I'm not sure that Nicholas was correct. What should Angelique be concentrating on? The return of Barnabas to vampirehood is really a pretty paltry end. Upsetting Roger, the nasty spell on Elizabeth, and splitting up Tony and Carolyn were all worthwhile efforts of an emissary of Hell. It may be, however, that as a junior temptress (which isn't what she is, but I can't resist bringing in CS Lewis and The Screwtape Letters), she is expected to maintain discipline and refrain from branching out until she has shown that she can efficiently accomplish the immediate task.
I watched carefully yesterday and I never saw a point at which Vicky could have ripped Nicholas's button off. But that doesn't mean a thing, because, as I have observed before, I am unobservant.
Oh, gosh, now Jeff thinks he's Peter but Vicky doesn't. Next up: Vicky thinks she's Peter but Jeff doesn't.
